I always love a good challenge to flex my creative muscles. A couple years ago I built a suitcase drum set, but never was that happy with it. So today Im redeeming myself! I found a suitcase on facebook marketplace, used a bunch of drum set hardware, built some custom toms out of some drum shell scraps, threw some cymbals on it and bam, instant drum set that fits in a suitcase! I think it came out a lot better and sounds better than the original. Also much more fun than a cajon!
